coolness! love your blogs, i learn so much - blessings
Teresa of Avila…what I have read..and felt:
An outstanding woman who lived 4 centuries ago. I like the way Mirabai is presenting her and other mystics. The intimacy of deep longing and the alchemy of mystical communion. St Teresa was a bit trapped in her writings by concepts of sin and guilt. The translation removes these barriers.
And I am sure exactly in the sense St Teresa intended. Even beyond lingual barriers Its probable that St Teresa did pioneering work as Spanish catholic in embracing the body and bodymind totally in her mysticsm.
It would be exciting to check paralels between St Teresa mysticim and the black Madonna.
Thanks Jayne for presenting this.
